Just tried embedding a youtube video using the direct link and you're correct, it doesn't work (seems youtube doesn't allow it?)
It does however work if you copy the special embed URL when you go to share > embed on a video

There's libraries that are in the default Python standard library, and then majority of Python libraries available on PyPi (graphical libraries other than Turtle are the main exceptions)
You can add more via the packages tab

Excited to be going to #Bett2024 with @anacondainc and @LenovoEducation!
I'll be talking about how we can empower students to build AI into their own applications, alongside previewing some new features in @edu_blocks.

There's a new export screenshot option in the editor under "Settings". It's chrome only right now, but it exports a high resolution PNG file of the blocks 🙂

It was great to run an @edu_blocks x Turtle workshop at the @PyConUK Young Coders track.
A great turnout with both the kids and their parents taking part.

Nick, I think you’ll be fine as you’re a non-profit.
I also assume that people who work in schools as code club leaders won’t be charged either, and it’s just those who work for businesses and don’t have a booth.
@Bett_show would be good to get some clarification :)

Really easy to get started, and @micropython support is coming to make running Python in the browser fast!

Nicholas Tollervey up next here @europython, talking about @pyscript_dev.
This is one of the most exciting projects going on at the moment, making Python accessible for all via the browser.

Great talk by @leriomaggio on @pyscript_dev and @pyscript_com.
So many cool things you can do with it, and the project has come a long way since release with new developments constantly in the works.

Had lots of fun playing around with my new @BambulabGlobal X1 Carbon 3D printer the past few days.
Amazing print quality and speed, the AMS is great too and was definitely worth the upgrade.

I’ll be in London with some of my new @anacondainc colleagues on 5th-7th June.
If you’re an educator who’s used EduBlocks, Anaconda or do stuff with Python Data Science, we’d love to meet you to help us understand how we can best support UK educators!
DMs are open🙂

I'll be joining the Anaconda team full-time to continue to lead and develop the platform further.
Really excited about the future and what we can achieve together!

Some insight on how to create these blurred backgrounds, like on the salient @tailwindui template would be great!

This is super handy to have around.
I tried to power a @microbit_edu off of a power-bank, but there's an issue where it thinks the micro:bit is off due its to low-power draw.
Put this in-between, problem solved.
Thanks for sending it over @eplop!

I've just made a quick macOS shortcut which hopefully makes it a bit easier (asks for a file, microcontroller type and then runs the cp command).
Works with pico & @microbit_edu.

Thanks Les! I love my photo frame, so many amazing memories of the past 18 years that I’ll never forget, and it’s an amazing way to remember it all.

I'll be hosting a session with @casnortheast at 4pm tomorrow on @edu_blocks and how you can use it to help your students make the move from blocks to text.

Started building the native @edu_blocks app!
Got the editor working as well as integration with edublocks accounts to store projects.
Lots still to do but something I hope to release this year.
Thanks to @Arm for sponsoring the development #genarm2z.

Over the next few months, I'll be working on some highly-requested @edu_blocks features.
📱 iOS & Android app
👨🏫 Improving the classroom tool
📗 Adding to and improving the current blocks
Here are some early app concepts, still a lot to figure out.
Thanks to @arm for support.

No doubt we'll get another round of articles like these in a few years too and they'll wonder why 😂

After 14 months on my Level 3 Software apprenticeship with @BalticTraining, I just received the news that I achieved a Distinction!
I've learnt so much from the amazing team @fulfilmentcrowd working on some really exciting things and I can't wait for what's next.

It's probably the same as that. Tricks windows into thinking it's 1TB but actually just overwrites the files when it reaches its actual capacity (probably 16GB or something like that)

After over a year of work, the new @edu_blocks launches on October 25th!
It has tons of new features to make the experience better for students and teachers.
Thanks to @Arm for making this redevelopment possible!
